Quad 988 in 15' x 12' room

how well will a pair of Quad 988s function in my 15' wide by 12' deep listening room? the speakers would be about 3' from the rear wall, about 3' from the side walls, and about 6' from my listening position. these speakers would be about 7' apart, and set up along the 15' wall. they would be powered by the McIntosh 402 power amp, McIntosh C2200 pre amp and a Musical Fidelity Tri Vista SACD player would be the source. FYI - i don't normally listen at very loud levels.

any assistance in this matter would be very much appreciated!

I just bought a pair of Quad 989's. My room is 16x 13x11. The speakers sound fantastic. How tall are your ceilings? I was told that it's cubic space more than square footage. It should work.

I've got my 989's about 3' from the front wall and about 2' from the side walls. My listening position is about 8-9' from the speakers. The sidewalls present no problem. I wish I could have the speakers out another foot, but it sounds great as it is.
